Teen Gamer Defeats The Last Ronin Game Boss in World Record 14-Minute Speedrun.
In a stunning display of skill, a 17-year-old from Austin, Texas, has set a new world record by completing the notoriously difficult video game, The Last Ronin Game, in just 14 minutes and 32 seconds. The achievement, which occurred late Tuesday evening during a live stream on the platform Twitch, saw the player, identified only by the handle "ShadowBladeX," bypass multiple challenging combat sequences using a series of rapid dodges and environmental traps. According to game developers at Tribute Games, the previous record of 17 minutes was held for over three months. ShadowBladeX’s run has since gone viral on social media, with clips accumulating over two million views as of Wednesday morning, prompting discussions about potential balance patches for the title. The gamer, who requested anonymity for privacy reasons, confirmed the record to officials at Speedrun.com, the official verification body for such feats, citing months of practice on the title's "Master Ninja" difficulty setting.
